My dad was diagnosed with stomach cancer in El Salvador, Central America (where we live) but we want and need another opinion, from international doctors that offer us a good treatment and diagnosis. We want to know which are the best stomach cancer centers in California and Florida, so we can go there as soon as posible. Thank you very much.

Can a case of walking pnemonia cause asthma? About two years ago I had walking pneumonia that took forever to go away. Before this I never had any symptoms of asthma, but now I do. Is it possible that the pneumonia could have caused me to have asthma?

Last night I had very severe sharp pains in my lower right abdomen. I went to the hospital thinking it could be appendicitis. They did blood work and i got a cat scan but nothing showed. I was supposed to see a surgeon today but hes not in his office I have to go back Tues. The sharp pain is gone (for now) but it is still very tender. If its not appendicitis could someone tell me what else it could be. Please.

Any R.N's or docs ever heard of this? I remember my brother had it is it possible I had a mild case at the same time?? Both my parents are deceased so there isn't anyone to ask. I do remember my mother telling me I had the German Measles as an infant but that would be different right??

I'll answer my own question here as I wasn't sure how else to get this information out there for everyone to read and judge for themselves.

I strongly urge you to read this story. It's my own battle with severe ulcerative colitis. I'm not a Dr. & I'm not selling anything. This is just valuable information.

I suffered for years and years before making a life or death decision. What I learned saved my life, and if you suffer as I have, hopefully you'll look into the same answer that I found & start feeling better yourselves.

It's a miserable illness and there is no official cure. I can tell you this though...I have it as severe as one can, all throughout my large intestine up to the ileium, and today...I can eat ice cream and fruit with the skin on it, and thai food, and so can you. Please read on & get well soon.

Since I was about 11 EVERY SINGLE TIME my hands get wet, they bother me. Enough that if I don't use hand lotion I will go into a panick until I find some. It doesn't hurt, but the feeling is like my finger prints have doubled, and I feel like my skin went as dry as leather. I've gotten so bad that I DO NOT wash my hands at all during the day...no matter what. And if I know I'll be getting wet (shower or swimming) I make SURE I have lotion around. Even lotion doesn't cure it 100%, only time does that, and it's usually 30 minutes to an hour.
Any Dermatologists out there who have heard of a similar condition? I've had it for like 19 years.
I hate bathing my kids with rubber gloves. And, I would love the idea of actually wanting to go swimming. Right now when I hear swimming, all I think about are my hands.
It bothers my feet some too, but not nearly as bad. And if I put socks on and make my feet sweat, it's not so bad. Someone help!!

Ever since I was a little kid, my body has been very sensitive to mosquito bites. If I even touch/rub/itch them, they will turn into nasty scabs. Anyone know why this is happening?

This may sound funny, but I am serious. I yawn alot. LIke all day long.Even when I get plenty of sleep. Am I just overly tired, even with plenty of sleep, or is there something else that causes yawning?Even when I don't feel tired I yawn, but maybe my body truly is tired, i don't know?? I am going to research this, too, but I thought I'd ask here, too, just incase someone knows.
